5 hours to kill in Fort Lauderdale tomorrow...any suggestions?

[midime]

We're on the EOS tommorow out of Fort Lauderdale at 5PM. Our flight gets in at 9AM. Any suggestions of what to do for 2 people and 2 suitcases??? for a few hours.

Anyone else cruising tomorrow?

By the time you land and get your luggage and a shuttle to the pier they should be starting to check everyone in at the pier. Why don't you get on the ship early to enjoy the EOS.

I'd go straight to the ship too!

We just toured the Navigator on Saturday and people were barely there at noon. It was lovely and empty and it will give you a head start on getting your bearings and appointments and reservations.

Pack a carry on with your swim suits. There is nothing like a dip in the Jacuzzi, a nice drink and no one else around to bother you. Only time on the cruise you will have one of them by yourself. We did it on AOS and had a blast.

Pack a carry on with your bathing suits and enjoy the pool and warm weather. And have a drink for me....

Go to Las Olas Riverfront. I work there. Will look for two people with suitcases!

But, if it were up to me, I would go directly to the Ship. Have a great time.

Go directly to the ship...do not stop.

If you feel you must do something before you embark, I suggest you go to one of the hotels near the water taxi and ask them to hold your luggage. Then, head down to the water and take a water taxi tour. It is really impressive!

Thanks for your replies. We haven't cruised before so I guess we'll just head for the ship!
